Shake a turkey leg and get over to Party City to shop some great last-minute decoration trimmings for your Thanksgiving shindig! If your family takes its eating as seriously as the rest of America, then what makes you think you can just skimp on the fun decor? It's okay to be a little extra when it comes to Thanksgiving decorations, arguably the most underrepresented holiday in the decor game, and thanks to Party City, you can let your freak flag fly high and gobble til you wobble this year!
Want to stick your face through a large foam piece of pumpkin pie and wear it like a hat/mask? Done. Don't have much of a sweet tooth? Wear a foam turkey hat instead. Afraid of hat head? Throw on a pair of turkey shades and sit next grandpa - you might have to give him a nudge to wake him out of his turkey coma, but that's showbiz, baby. The possibilities are endless at Party City, so don't @ me -- there's something for everyone.
In all seriousness, if Party City can pack three large display racks to the gills with a variety of fun and festive Thanksgiving party supplies, mix 'n match paper goods, photo booth props, turkey dinner to go bags, turkey lanterns, garland, dish towels, and DIY pilgrim hats for the kiddos, in addition to the countless other aisles chock full of party supplies, then it's my firm belief they can make any holiday a little extra.
Party City is what it would be like if Charming Charlie's (the accessories store, RIP) got in the party biz: everything is organized by color, and probably made in China.
Can I mention their balloon game is poppin'! I ordered a few basic balloon "arrangements" for an event I threw recently, and not only did they blow them up with some of that premium grade A, hard to find helium, but they also attached strings, anchored them to cute little balloon weights I purchased, and perfectly sized/spaced them out, achieving that height/aspect ratio only realized by a true balloon master. Just another reminder that there's genius walking among us, and not all heroes wear capes.
In closing, I walked in just wanting to place the balloon order, half expecting this place to be a glorified dollar store, with aisles looking more like the morning after a wild rave than those belonging to a neat and tidy, "we have everything," party supply store, but boy was I wrong!
I was blown away by all the goodies packed inside this party in a vanilla box, ranging from the in your face Thanksgiving display (it saw me coming from the parking lot, I never stood a chance against that beast) to the super helpful staff (shout out to Rosey and Malika for modeling some photo booth props, and just being generally awesome people/Party City employees).
I can't speak for all Party Cities, but this location was a slam dunk, and I 100% would return to this particular location to see what my homegirls, Rosey and Malika, have in store for the Christmas schwag, and to see what seasonal flare I can add to an event or dining room near you!
